The Tudors are England’s most infamous dynasty, particularly notorious for the explosive combination of the extra-curricular activities and waistline of Henry VIII to the martial exploits of his daughter, the alleged Virginal Elizabeth, against the mightier Spanish. Henry’s other son Edward VI gained immortality through his Protestantism and caricature in Mark Twain’s The Prince and the Pauper whilst Henry’s eldest Mary is known in today’s annals as the Bloody Mary, her executions stereotypically portraying her as a bitter, barbaric and violent leader in a religiously tumultuous period. That being said, the dynasty is a Welsh one, for the first Tudor King was Henry VII, a descandent of South Welsh Princes and North Welsh Nobility and born himself in Pembroke. Here I will post all my Tudor blogs, most of them from a rare and unique Welsh viewpoint.
